JEFFREY T. FERRES, OF ANDERSON. INDIANA.

BOTTLE-PACKINGA WRAPPER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 515,668, datedFebruary 27, 1894.

Application tiled October 9,1893. Serial No. 487.639. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern.-

Be it known that I, JEFFREY T. FERRES, a subject of the Queen of GreatBritain, residing at Anderson, in the county of Madison and State ofIndiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inBottle-Packing Wrappers, of which the following is a specication.

The various features of my invention are fully set forth in thedescription of the accompanying drawings making a part of thisspecification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a bottleWrapper bent in form for use. Fig. 2 is a plan view of a blank beforebending. Fig. 3 is a modification of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a modification ofFig. 2. Fig. 5 is a modification of Fig. 4.

The object of the invention is to provide a cheap, durable and elasticbottle Wrapper; it is made preferably of wood veneer; stid straw boardmay be employed. The veneer is scored or creased in irregular lines,preferably waving or serpentine.

In the accompanying drawings Fig. 2 represents a plan View of a blankhaving the plain ends a, b. c represents scored serpentine lines, whichwhen bent form a box or inclosure in which the article to be packed isincased. In Figs. l and 2 there are four scored lines which make arectilinear wrapper or box. The wrapper will be just as many sided asthere are scored lines placed on the blank, as illustrated in Figs. 3and 4. By scoring the blank in irregular lines and bending it overirregular or wavy sides are formed; thus, the parts v.' project, and theparts la .are drawn in; and this is true of the parts Il and 7c in Figs.3 and 4. This makes an elastic side so that bottles or jars may bepacked in a box and shipped without any danger of breakage. The ends o.,b, may overlap and be fastened by clips, stitching, or any suitablemanner, or not fastened at all when they are to be packed at once in abox.

In Fig. 5 I have shown a modification Where the scar-fed or scored linesare regular angle lines instead of irreguiar wavy lines, and it is aninferior modification.

I do not Wish to limit myself to the irregular serpentine lines exceptin the clauses of the claim where the same is made a specic element.

Having described my invention, what I claim is- 1. A wrapper made fromveneer, or strawboard, scored in irregular lines, and adapted to be bentaround a package, substantially as described.

2. A wrapper made from Veneer or strawboard, scored in irregular wavylines,v and adapted to be bent around a package, substantially asspecied.

3. A Wrapper made from veneer or strawboard, scored in irregular lines,bent into form, and the ends fastened together toform a polygonallysided wrapper, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

JEFFREY T. FERRES.
